Palestine: A Socialist Introduction by Sumaya Awad, Brian Bean
4.5
Comprehensive, socialist look on Palestine, relating the occupation to a global scale and creating a flow throughout the book that incites motivation for change instead of defeat.
Chapters I think are important:
1 Roots of the Nakba: Zionist Settler Colonialism - good introduction with nuanced discussions about how Zionism relies on antisemitism as a way to victimize themselves, while the ideology not only perpetuates antisemitism but is built upon it amongst other things
7 What Palestinians Ask of Us: The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement - an interview with Omar Barghouti, founder of the BDS movement
9 Cops Here, Bombs There: Black-Palestinian Solidarity - analysis on the correlation between the injustice black people in the US and Palestinians in Palestine face
Since it's a collection, you could read one or a few selected chapters from this book and still gain knowledge about a certain issue
